Passover was such a significant observance for the Jewish people that a peculiar commandment is found in the book of Numbers (9: 4 ff.) Moses asks and the Eternal One agrees: If one is not unable to celebrate Passover during the month of Nisan, he or she may have another opportunity to offer the Passover sacrifice.

Attending the Women’s Seder on March 9 with her daughter, Carole Bachenheim, a congregant of Central Synagogue, described it as a wonderful event. Approximately 110 women participated. There was a strong sense of sisterhood she said, and women of all ages from the actual sisterhoods in three participating synagogues— host Temple Am Echad (the former Temple Emanu-el) in Lynbrook, Reconstructionist Temple Beth Emeth in Woodmere and Central Synagogue of Rockville Centre, were able to mix, mingle, meet new people and enjoy the camaraderie.

Temple Am-Echad in Lynbrook held an unusual women’s Seder on March 9.
The event was a joint effort of three congregations, Temple Am-Echad, Central Synagogue of Nassau County in Rockville Centre and Temple Beth Emmet of Hewlett. Women with no synagogue affiliation also attended. They ranged in age from the very young to 95-year-old Miriam Fine of Lynbrook, who has been a member of Am-Echad — the former Temple Emanu-el — for 75 years. Her parents were also members of the congregation.

Many people have been asking the clergy in Rockville Centre how best to respond to the devastation and need in Haiti after the recent earthquake. Many have given to their religious relief programs or to a charity with which they are familiar. We encourage all to keep those organizations in mind for continuing their work in Haiti. However, if you are not sure where to send your contributions in what is admittedly a very complicated and unsure situation, we encourage you to consider a contribution to Partners in Health.
